How To Tell If Your GM Is About To Screw Up A Trade

1) He has a copy of the new CBA on his desk. Next to it he has “The New CBA For Dummies“, “The Simplified New CBA For Dummies” , “How To Use A ‘For Dummies‘ Book, For Dummies” and a Picture Dictionary.

2) When asked at a presser “If he’d ever gazump another GM on a deal at the last second” he answers “Oh, no: there is as much of a code of honour among GMs as there is among Players” and looks hurt when the entire room falls about laughing for a good five minutes

3) He’s on the phone to Aaron Ward telling him “Man, have I got a scoop for you”

4) You’ve caught him doing the Taxi Driver “You Talking To Me?” bit in front of a picture of Ray Shero

5) He appears to have made an awful lot of calls to Mike Milbury in the run up to the trade.

6) He has been downplaying the importance of your veteran Franchise Player while extolling the virtues of College Hockey based on the ten minutes of UMass-Lowell that he caught the other weekend.

7) He’s complaining because he’s sent a MySpace Bulletin about his available players and the only person to get back to him is some guy called “Tom” who he thinks maybe works for the Panthers?

8) His name rhymes with “Way ToomuchpaidtoBouwmeester”
